Bruce, next time your background should have an orange tint, not as an homage to the Tom Ridge Memorial Terror Colour Code System, but due to the fact orange covers tend to sell better than any other colour save black.

I could not help but notice your photo as used in the UKs Gaurdian Newspaper is very similar to that on the book...

The most notable difference being that the shirt is pink in the Gaurdian photo.

Now a thought passed through my neurons, both you and I are of an age where we remember certain "home computing" books. One of these tombes was known to the 1980's proto hackers as the "pink shirt book"....

So is it the same photo that has been photoshoped, or have you dicided the "Chuck Norris" pose is good for business?

I'm sure the readers want to know ;)

On a more serious note do you know when it will hit the bookshop shelves in the UK?

Oh and back to the less serious which London squid eaterie will you be signing it in?

FYI: The author of a book does not get to pick the cover. The title of a book is also in the publisher's hands. And sometimes the publisher will decide that the author should be published under a different name.
